I had been thinking of going, but unless the wind speed predictions drop, I will probably stay home. I don't have any big kites I want to risk distroying for a non sponsored festival. 25 - 35 with gusts to 55 could easily make one of my kites a vented kite. Those of you going, stay warm.

I am finally starting to feel better, but I am not up to hauling big kites around. Now I just have to figure out where I am going to lay the Gecko out to r...
